Leaving The Country After Divorce

Chapter 821 Does Miss Jarvis Not Like Me

Roxanne’s mind was preoccupied with Estella. She only recalled that Jack and Hector were still waiting for her in the research institute at the boys’ reminder.

She cast a glance at the doorway, still worried about the girl’s safety. “Mommy, just go,” the boys urged. Right then, Jack called. Roxanne picked up the call as she furrowed her brows. “Sorry, I’ll be there in a moment,” she said apologetically.

Hearing that there was something amiss with her voice, Jack asked in concern, “Did something happen?”

Jack asked a few more questions in concern, but Roxanne dismissed them all.
